Echocardiography
and Color Doppler
Echocardiography and Color Doppler has become one of the primary modalities
in the investigation of modern day cardiology. It demonstrates anatomical
details that are required to diagnose children suffering from congenital
and valvular heart diseases. It also provides physiological information
which is essential in the evaluation of heart diseases in adults suffering
from high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathies.
Also accessories to study blood flow in arteries and veins (peripheral
Doppler), transoesophageal evaluation of the rear chambers of the heart
(transoesophageal Echocardiography) and for diagnosing deffects in unborn
infants (feotal echocardiography). N.M. Wadia Institute was the first
to bring Echocardiography to the non-government sectors of Poona. Now,
by acquiring a HP AGILENT SONOS 4500, we continue
to keep pace with the latest in ultra sound technology.

Stress/Treadmill Test
One of the most effective and economic ways of diagnosing
cardiac ischaemia is the Treadmill Stress Test. The Institute today has
a Mac 5000,
one of the most sophisticated stress tests machines available.

Ambulatory Monitoring
By Advanced Medical Products with a micro recorder and blood pressure
recording. We offer real time Ambulatory Holter ECG and blood pressure
monitoring system that assess coronary artery disease and the control
of blood pressure. This combined unit was introduced for the first time
in the country by the Institute.

Nuclear Medicine
Exercise Thallium scanning facilities are available on referral to an
associate nuclear medicine center, which help to confirm the diagnoses
in a variety of heart diseases.
